69 Charger Drip Rail

mike337 · September 01, 2009, 01:02:02 PM

I pulled the drip rail moldings out of storage to clean them up prior to install, and found some hardware that I'm not sure about. With the small trim piece that covers the joint between the long trim and the piece that runs down the A-Pillar, I found a small attachment clip and screw.

Are these used to secure the trim anywhere? After all the body and paint work, I don't seem to have any telltale holes for these to mount to.

maybe they are the ones for securing the lower windshield trim in the corners..

This is the clip, is it the one for the windshield trim?

That's used to hold the weatherstrip in place around the top of the door jamb. I might have a photo of one installed, I'll look later.

Thanx!

That is the clip used to hold the lower windshield trim on at the ends and wraps around into the door jamb.

Mystery solved.

Thank You!

Here are the pics I have of a '68 in a salvage yard from a few years back.

How does it look installed? I don't have one...

You guys make it a pleasure to be working on a Mopar! Thanx for all the help & guidance.

BUMP

Does anyone have a picture of it installed correctly?
Can't seem to find them on ebay, what are they called? easy to make?

I don't have a picture of one installed but the flat tab part slides in the lower windshield trim.

Hemidog · September 17, 2009, 06:33:06 AM

does it wrap around the drip rail weatherstrip first? I would really like to see a picture...

I am going to install mine tonight and will post a pic once installed.

Sorry! I meant to get pictures of these before but hopefully it still helps.

Hemidog,

Send me a PM with your address. I am pretty sure that I have an extra set.

If this doesn't pan out send me a note, I might have and extra one or two.

Thanks for the pictures troy, does the screw penetrate the drip rail weatherstrip?

That's exactly the way my car came apart so I'd say it was installed before the weatherstrip. The car was painted once before so I'm not entirely sure. Let me dig through the old pictures of my black car to see how it was put together.

Cool. I don't really understand their function if they do not hold the weatherstrip, mine just hangs there (weatherstrip).

They hold the lower windshield trim.
